About NORTH TEXAS HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
North Texas Healthy Communities (NTHC) is a nonprofit community-outreach organization operating as the North Texas outreach arm of Texas Health Resources. NTHC implements large-scale well‑being initiatives — including the Blue Zones Project Fort Worth and food‑access programs — to change environments, policies, and social supports so healthy choices are easier for residents. NTHC focuses its work in high-need ZIP codes and partners with schools, faith communities, worksites, community centers and local governments to deliver measurable community benefit. In recent years NTHC’s work has included healthy food distribution and access programs, mental health first aid training, and policy and built‑environment interventions aimed at improving population well‑being.
